"So, Mr. Sofinit, can you explain what this is?"

After skipping the girls' screams and the subsequent series of troubles, Reiner had already changed into her shirt and trousers and sat on the sofa in the restaurant, while opposite her was Sophinette, who looked innocent, dressed in men's clothes, of course.

The girls all returned to the room, and after the trouble just now, they became even more tired.

One side of the hot spring bath was shattered by Danna's burst magic, and now it has become an open-air bath for men and women to bathe together, but Reiner no longer has the mood to enjoy it.

"What the hell is that black shadow? Is it a voyeur?"

Reiner asked, looking straight at Sophinette.

"Well, this, Mr. Ian Gray, do you remember, I said I had my own considerations?"

Sofinit asked back, considering the words.

"I'm talking about this dark shadow."

"You knew this thing existed before?"

Reiner was even more confused.

"It's also a bit ashamed. About a month ago, I learned from my servant that something wonderful seemed to have appeared on the beach near this villa."

Sofinit explained.

"It seems a bit inconsistent to say that it is something, but it doesn't look like a creature. Uh, if you use some words that will make you laugh at, Mr. Ian Gray, it should be a ghost, and that's the truth of this black shadow."

"ghost?"

Reiner was really surprised.

Although the magic in this world has a necrotic system, it does not study the so-called soul in depth. In fact, until today, the concept of soul has not been separated from the Heart Lake, let alone the ghosts left in the world after people die.

Several famous haunted events in history were finally proven to be illusions created by magic props. No magician has ever encountered a true soul.

The Alchemy System proves that people cannot be resurrected after death, and the Necrotic System also encountered setbacks in the study of souls.

The so-called alchemy life is an artificial creature that can only follow the response function left during production. It is impossible for it to have a soul at all.

Therefore, talking about ghosts in the world of a mage is just like talking about gods, which is ridiculous.

"Yes, this villa was originally only in peace, and it was very quiet. But recently, the servants in charge of the night watch often saw a shadow wandering among the woods outside the villa, but when they light the lights to check, they couldn't find anything."

Sofinit said with lingering fear.

"At the beginning, we thought it was a thief, but we spent money to set up a magic circle for guards near the villa. At the time when the shadow appeared, there was no sign of human being detected. This is the strangest thing."

"So, after seeing my letter, do you want us to investigate this dark shadow for you?"

Then Reiner suddenly realized that there was no free lunch in this world.

"Yeah, right."

Sofinit nodded slightly, then immediately added.

"But please rest assured that although there was a black shadow, there was no lost in the mansion, and no one was injured. My servants have lived here for a long time, so I think this black shadow should not do anything strange to people."

Isn't it strange to peep at a girl taking a bath...Rener was ashamed, but the existence of this black shadow did make him curious.

In the commotion just now, he did not see the black shadow directly, but Reiner did not feel any obvious traces of magic. If Sophinit said it was true that the detection magic around the villa did not sense traces of other humans, then either the black shadow had a very high magic attainment and could find a way to avoid detecting magic, or it was because of other special physiques.

As for the ghost, Reiner doesn't believe it, and just regard it as a relatively impossible explanation.

"Let's do it, it's getting late today. Tomorrow, I will investigate near the villa. As for the girls, let them go to the beach for a while."

Reiner nodded and stood up. At this time, Sofinite was like a child who had made a mistake, sitting obediently on the sofa and not daring to move.

"Mr. Sofinite, you should go back to your room early to rest."

Hearing Reiner's words, Sofinit nodded slowly, thinking.

......

Apart from the commotion in the hot springs, there was nothing wrong all night. The next morning, Reiner changed into a refreshing seaside short-sleeved room and came to the hall.

Joe has been waiting here, and this is what Reiner asks, and Joe, the butler who is most familiar with the place, will accompany him to investigate.

As for Sofinite, Reiner asked him to take a few girls to play at his private beach, otherwise he would always feel that it would reduce the efficiency of the investigation.

"First ask who have seen the black shadows."

Reiner said, Joe nodded and took Reiner to a reception room.

Several servants had already sat in the reception room, both men and women, and were a little nervous. When they saw Qiao coming in, they felt a little relieved.

"These are servants who have seen the shadows before. I have summoned them in advance. You can ask as you please, Mr. Ian Grey."

Joe said, then stood aside.

Reiner looked at these people and started asking from the person on the far left that this was a maid, about twenty years old.

"When did you see that black shadow, and what are its characteristics?"

Asked straight to the point, Reiner took out the quill and notebook from the storage bag, waved his hand gently, and the notebook was suspended in the air, and the quill automatically recorded the conversation.

This surprised the maid, but she quickly adjusted her mood and spoke.

"It was a week ago. After cleaning the bathhouse at night, when I was packing up my things and preparing to go back, I suddenly saw a black shadow in the corner. I was shocked and hurried to find someone else, but when I returned to the bathhouse again, the black shadow was gone."

She said intermittently, obviously organizing language while recalling. The servants were not well educated. They only received some literacy and writing training when they entered the Sofiniter's house and were able to recognize their names and some common sentences.

According to Sofinit, these servants were able to learn to read and write according to their own will. Those who succeed in self-study like Joe would be easily promoted and eventually become the housekeeper of a mansion.

"In the evening, is it another bath?"

Reiner glanced at the records in the notebook and thought secretly.

"Sir, actually, there are some speculations between us about that black shadow."

At this time, a slightly older servant said, causing Reiner to raise his head.
